Graphic Editing Programs for Visual Arts


Through the use of graphics editing programs, students can create and manipulate digitally generated images (such as scanned images, digital camera, internet images, CD), video stills, animations and web page designs.

Graphics editing programs can be categorised as local programs or software, ie. those programs located on the hard drive of your computer/portable device eg. Photoshop, Paint.Net, The Gimp and many thousands of others.
Then there are Cloud apps; software which exists on the internet, which allows you to sign in and save imaging editing on servers across the globe. We have recently seen a massive amount of free and very powerful image editing applications appear online.
